Bouillabaisse image

I'm sure there are French chefs out there with rather strong opinions as to what classifies as a Bouillabaisse. I'm certainly no French chef. I was looking for a healthy way to enjoy seafood. Since its winter here in NY, a piece of grilled fish just didn't seem hearty enough to do the trick. My mom gave me a few different recipes that I pieced together to create my own version of this delicious fish stew. Feel free to substitute the seafood for whatever looks fresh at the market that day.

Time 1h

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 stalk celery, finely diced (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely diced (about 1/2 a small pepper)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, leaves picked from stems
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup clam juice
1 cup crushed tomatoes
1/4-1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh squeezed
1/2 lb fish fillet (any sturdy white fish will do, I used Chilean Sea Bass)
8 littleneck clams (includes a few extra in case some don't open)
1/4 lb bay scallop
1/4 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a deep skillet; sauté celery, green pepper, onion, and garlic until soft.
  • Add bay leaf, thyme, and crushed red pepper to the vegetables and sauté for a minute or so.
  • Add wine, clam juice, tomatoes, ¼ cup water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Drop to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Give it a stir every so often and add the additional ¼ cup water if the sauce looks too thick.
  • Add fish filets and clams. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork and the clams pop open.
  • Add shrimp and scallops. Simmer uncovered until cooked through, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with toasted baguette.
